September 28 marks the anniversary of the birth of the great Chinese scholar and philosopher Confucius. Beginning at dawn, Confucius temples hold elaborate ceremonies to honor the occasion. Unlike other temples, this is the only day of the year that ceremonies are held in a Confucius temple. The following pictures are from the Confucius temple in Changhua. The day is also celebrated as Teacher’s Day.

Craig Ferguson Images | Cultural Photography. One of the key aspects of life that we humans identify with is culture. We label people, places and events according to our ideas of what they are, ranging from the broader scale defined by tradition and place down to the small scale subcultures and tribes. Craig Ferguson Images is consistantly creating new visions in the field of cultural photography. From traditional festives and customs to modern, urban subcultures, Craig Ferguson Images is in touch with the changing world. From our base in Taipei, Taiwan we are perfectly positioned at the crossroads of the ancient and the modern.
